Who/where is your dealer?
That is great news (assuming that they actually do something about it).

Sorry for not posting earlier. I don’t wanna jinx what may turn out to be a good outcome with the dealer and PCNA. Once things are resolved in a couple of weeks I’ll tell the whole story.

Those are normal wear marks for the cab top. If the fabric hasn't started separating at the seam, than I would leave it be. If you're considering replacing just because it's unsightly, there are many upholstery shops that can install a GAHH or similar top. Cost varies around $3-5k. Alternatively, you can use a RAGGTOP cleaner/protector kit but it won't necessary improve the areas that are already slightly worn.

Just from the looks in the pictures, it appears to have been stored with the top down. If it's going to be more than a few hours, I always put my top up. I'm thinking a steamer or even wetting the top and parking the car in the sun on a hot day would remove those wrinkles.

same wear mark on my car. 991.2 GTS cabriollet , 15K miles only.
I have confirmed that these are marks from a pad that runs on the inside of the rear hatch.
Judging by the fact that some cars don't have any marks, there must be some way to adjust the distance between the soft top and the pad, but I don't know.

The marks on the OP's pics look more like wear marks from rubbing instead of wrinkles, but hard to tell. Comes with regular use of the cab top. My 2013 has similar marks. I think some cabs come from the factory better aligned than others. I brought this up to my SA at one point and he basically said there are no adjustments they can make.
